An Overview of Religious Financial Fraud
An Overview of Religious Financial Fraud
EPHESIANS 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
12 For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. 13 But all things
that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. 14 Therefore He
says: " Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light."
MARL 4:22 For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret
but that it should come to light.

Insurance Fraud
The Coalition Against Insurance Fraud produces a Hall of Shame list each
year to bring attention to insurance fraud. Pastor Gerald Rayborn was
featured on the 2004 list for burning down his church for $800,000. 33
Dennis Jay, the Coalitions director, reported in Claims Journal
that Rev. Roland Gray helped stage nearly 200 car crashes plus
phony slip-and-fall injuries in restaurants and hotels. He recruited
parishioners and even his brother, who also was a minister. 34
After obtaining seven life insurance policies for a blind man, pastor
Kevin Pushia hired a hitman for $50,000. Pushia plead guilty. 35

Franklin's Purse
Charity: Controversy spurs Graham to give up one of two salaries | Warren
Cole Smith and Rusty Leonard
Franklin Graham has long had a reputation for being larger than life and going
his own way. His 1997 memoir, Rebel With a Cause, chronicled his prodigal
period and his return to God. Eventually, he made it to the top spots at both the
Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) and Samaritan's Purse (SP), a
Christian relief organization ministering to the needy around the world.
So Graham may now have a cause, but he never leaves the rebel far behind. In
1992, the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) suspended
Samaritan's Purse while it investigated the ministry's finances. It was reinstated
in early 1993. In 2001, when he also took over as president of the Billy Graham
Evangelistic Association, nonprofit experts questioned the wisdom of Graham
being paid full-time salaries by both organizations. Ministry watchdog Ole
Anthony of the Trinity Foundation said, "It's ludicrous to think he could do two
jobs at that level."
